The Shipping League.

As was predicted, the only result of the
convention of the American Shipping and
Industrial League in Boston was d prolonged
and vociferous demand for bounties. Sen
ator Frye was one Of the principal speakers,
and he was frank enough to put in plain
words what he meant. After saying that
the carrying business does not pay, and that
were Great Britain to make present to
American merchants of as many iron ships
as they wanted they could not sail one of
them profitably, he went ON to state that
the only way the American merchant ma
rine can be revived is for Congress to put
its hands into that terrible surplus and pay
it out for the sailing OF American ships. Mr..
Frye thinks that in this way foreign trade
could be built uD.
But the question is, where would the
profits to the government, or the people it
represents, come from! The benefciaries of
the bounty would undoubtedly, soon have
full pockets-if, indeed, pockets can be
tilled-and there would be quite scramble
to share in the public largess until long
division made the dole to each ship owner
small or else bankrupted the Treasury.
man of intelligence can honestly advocate
such a policy as that outlined 1t is de-
hberate proposition by a system of tariff
taxation and bounties to make American
made goods dear to American citizens and
cheap to foreigners. 1t is an attempt
TO lessen competition among protected man
utacturers, and the consequent lowering of
prices, by exporting the surplus produced
at the public expense. The average citizen
would not be benefited by foreign trade
bought on such terms; he would actually be
injured. He would be paying part of the
cost of the goods consumed by the foreigner,
and thus les SEEMING his own ability to COM
pete with him.
Contrast the position of a resident, say,
of Nebraska, with teat of a man living in
Halifax, with relation to American
manufactures under the condition of
affairs which would be brought about
should our existing tariff laws be
supplemented by the proposed bounties.
The American would pay the cost of manu-
facture, the tariff duty, the makers profit,
the railroad freight and his part of the ship
charges on the goods bought by the Nova
Scotian. The latter would be made pres
ent of the transportation charges and the
rebate on whatever foreign material may
have entered into the goods.
1t is hard to figure out a profit to the
country at large from a trade carried on
under such conditions, though it is easy to
SEE how comparatively few people would
be benefited

Aiming at a Solid North.

John Sherman and GOV. Foraker are the
leading Republican speaker, in the cam
paign that is now being conducted in Ohio.
Neither of them ever fails to call attention
to the solid South, and to assert that it is
kept solid by intimidation and fraud. They
do not pretend to prove their assertion.
! They have no facts to support it and, there
fore, they depend wholly upon reiteration.
Doubtless they make some converts.
A day or two ago that distinguished law
yer and statesman, Judge Thurman, Of
Ohio, in u speech callel attention to the
persistency with which Messrs Sherman
and Foraker continue to call at
tention to the solid South.
In the course of his remarks he said: while
denouncing the South for being so!idly
Democratic, they are striving with ali
their might to make the North solidly Re
publican, in order, by its means, it being
the strongest section of the Union, TO gov
ern this country forever and forever, or at
least as long as they can do so by the use of
such means.n
Messrs. Sherman and Foraker condemn
in one section of the country that which they
are ollINllS W JllSil III dIlOLllti. lHcy
declare that those VINO made the South
solidly Democratic and kept it so, are guilty
Of great crime They regard themselves
rs patriots, however, for trying to make the
North solidly Republican. They carefully
conceal their purpose and their inconsis-
tency.
They are not only inconsistent but are also
demagogues. They pretend that they want
some of the Southern States to be Republi-
can. 1t is safe to say that they want moth
ing of the kind unless they can get enough
of the Southern States to give them control
of the government. They want the South to
remain solidly Democratic in order that
they may use it as an argument to make the
North solidly Republican. A solid North is
what they want and not divided South.
They know that the charges of intimida-
ton and fraud which they make against the
South are not true, but they answer their
purpose and they will continue to make
them. There is too much intelligence at the
North, however, to permit them to be be-
lieved to such an extent as to make the
North solidly Republican, although Sher-
man, Foraker and other Republican leaders
seem to think there isn't. Speeches like
those of Judge Thurman are calculated to
arouse the people to an understanding of
the purpose. of the Republican leaders in
continually denouncing the Solid South
